Quick IPN is very easy to install and configure. Once you have received the Quick IPN zip file, please unzip the file and copy (or ftp) the files to the desired location at your web hosting environment.

 

Quick IPN zip files contains the following files:

 

 quickipn.php This is the main engine that responds to Paypal Instant Payment Notification, you need to configure paypal to ping this PHP file. Depending on your web site and the location where you put Quick IPN files to, the typical URL is something like http://www.yoursite.com/quickipn.php
 quickipn_config.phpThis is the utility to allow you configure IPN options. To start configuration, open your browser (Internet Explor is fully tested) to something like http://www.yoursite.com/quickipn_config.php, depending on your web site and the location where you put Quick IPN files to.
 quickipn_setting.phpThis file contains the common variables and system functions that used by quickipn_config.php and quickipn.php
 quickipn.conf This is the configuration files that stores your IPN settings. Initially empty. All settings are stored in the encrypted form. This file can be renamed. The name is defined in quickipn_config.php
 quickipn.log This is the log file, Initially empty. This file can be renamed. The name is defined in quickipn_setting.php

 

For security purposes, all configurations settings are stored in quickicp.conf  in an encrypted form.  In addition, for further protection, you can rename the quickipn.conf and modify the config_file variable in the quickipn_setting.php. And once you have done configuration, you can remove or hide (chmod 000) the quickipn_config.php file.

 

Quick IPN configuration utility, quickipn_config.php, is very easy to use as well, with onscreen HTML text to help you set the system up. For details, please check our screenshot.
